SEOUL, South Korea — A South Korean Christian pastor who has fueled a bitter debate by visiting North Korea without government permission was arrested Friday during his trip home across the heavily guarded border between the countries.

The pastor, the Rev. Han Sang-Ryol, a self-styled “unification activist,” was waving a “one-Korea” flag as he stepped across the military demarcation line at the border village of Panmunjom, government officials said. He was immediately whisked away by South Korean authorities for interrogation.
